1 Streaming to Cleaner Water A look at the past, present and future Doug Wetzstein Watershed Division February 23, 2013
2 Clean Water Act Federal Clean Water Act 72 Goal fishable/swimmable by 1983 Framework to protect and restore water quality Designate uses and set standards Assess waters TMDLs for impaired waters Protection and Control strategies 2
3 Pieces of the Impaired Waters Puzzle Why do TMDLs 2002, Legislative Auditor identified underfunded requirement to identify, evaluate and restore waters 2003, MPCA charged a diverse group to develop an efficient, accountable path to clean water the G-16 Feb. 2004, G-16 made recommendations July 2004, G-16 reconvened to develop legislation 3
4 Cannot Cause or Contribute Why do TMDLs 2005, Minn. Court of Appeals cited impaired waters section of CWA when it blocked the wastewater permit for the cities of Annandale- Maple Lake Neither the difficulty of the issues nor the commendable effort authorizes a resolution that clearly violates the plain language of the regulation governing impaired waterways.. it requires effluent limits in permits that insure a discharge does not cause or have a reasonable potential to cause or contribute to a violation of the water quality standards. Wastewater permits and many economic development projects halted until TMDLs were in place Created a new urgency for stakeholders and politicians to address impaired waters, leading to the Clean Water Legacy Act 4
5 2006 Clean Water Legacy Act Identify impaired waters in 10 years Develop TMDLs (10% per year) Implement restoration Promptly delist Comply with CWA requirements Protect unimpaired waters Early involvement of stakeholders 5
6 The (Old) TMDL Approach Meet EPA requirements Single parameter/single segment Focused on chemistry Small to huge 4-8 years Costly 100 year plan 6
7 The 10 Year Cycle Monitoring and Assessment Condition monitoring Effectiveness monitoring Every 10 Years Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy TMDL Protection Strategy Implementation Plans Implementation Activities BMPs Permits Etc. 7
8 The Watershed Approach Watershed approach => managing the system Physical /Chemical/ Biological => comprehensive Restoration and Protection Tools and Procedures => to define problems and solutions Components of the project include: Water quality assessments for lakes and streams Process to identify biological impairment stressors Pollutant load and wastewater discharge limit modeling Develop impaired water TMDL studies for EPA approval Develop focused and targeted implementation strategies Adaptive Management Data and information to tell the story Accountability =>Data and measures to track 8
9 Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies Watershed restoration and protection strategy (WRAPS) provide: Local Government Comprehensive Water/shed Management Plan will use WRAPS to establish: How much pollutant reduction or protection is needed to meet standard, achieve goal or improve trend Where the water pollution problems are coming from (approx. at HUC 12 scale) Propose a pace of progress. TMDL with WLA and LA that goes to EPA. How to fix problems or threats (project and practice design) Priority/Sequence for fixing water problems or threats Who will have responsibility for fixes Pursuit of $ resources to accomplish fixes. 9
10 Then and Now Pre 2008 Now Focus Federal TMDL requirements Clean Water for MN Scope Single parameter impairments Impairments and Protection for Watershed Scale Variable: tiny to huge 8 digit HUC ~(81) Data Chemistry Chemistry + Biology + Physical Time More than 4 years 4 years Use Permit Decisions Permit + Local Plans + Action Decisions Products TMDL = WLA + LA + MOS + RA Condition assessment + Stressor Id. + HSPF Modeling and Spatial analysis +TMDL + Locally adopted and State Approved local water/shed plan Costs High - $100k $1m / TMDL Coming down ~ $ k / Watershed 10
11 What will a WRAP look like? Pomme de Terre River Watershed Report New summary document for stakeholders Prototype: Gathering input through April Will finalize a template May 11
12 Watershed Monitoring Intensive Watershed Monitoring Biological/Physical monitoring Lake monitoring Flow/chemical/load monitoring ongoing On track to complete state in 10 years 12
13 Monitoring and Assessment Reports A comparison of water quality conditions to standards to determine if water is achieving designated uses. Identify impairments Identify waters that should be protected 13
14 Biotic Stressor Identification A study of local stressors limiting the fish and invertebrate communities Stressors investigated by evaluating: Hydrology Water Quality Geomorphology Biology Connectivity 14

37 It s a WRAP The goal is clean water. To get there we are: Monitoring all 81 watersheds by 2017 Monitoring not just chemical, but physical and biological too Protection as well as restoration of impaired waters Taking a comprehensive, focused and targeted approach Integrating point and non point Adapting revisit and build off what s been done and also see if it s working Reduced costs of doing assessment and TMDLs 37
